Brake Pad Dust Deposits Contamination

Brake-dust contamination, it emerges from frictional wear of steel, aluminum, and cast iron during braking processes, forming adherent particulate layers that accumulate on surfaces. This residue, distinguished by its metallic tenacity and uneven distribution—which resists dislodgement more than organic dusts—behaves variably: on cast iron it embeds deeply, dependent from surface porosity, while on aluminum it manifests as thinner films, posing challenges like potential scratching in mechanical removal. Laser cleaning addresses these effectively, as the process vaporizes the particles selectively through targeted ablation, which preserves substrate integrity without residue recurrence.
